Broadlands Gate

Spent 2 nights here with friends. Booked one of the two apartments which consisted of two double bedrooms one bathroom with toilet, a separate extra toilet and a sitting room with fridge, tea/coffee and tv. It worked well and we had a really nice stay. Breakfast was very nice and cooked to order, in fact there wasn't enough the owner, John, could do to make us feel very welcome.

I think John is the friendliest B and B host I've ever met. My husband and I wanted a short break from London, somewhere accessible by train. Broadlands Gate appealed to us because it's a bit outside of Brockenhurst, includes breakfast, and had a suite available. Our suite had two bedrooms, one full bath, and a WC, PLUS a sitting area complete with books and everything to make tea. John is so friendly and flexible, and took the time to make up our beds after we'd left for the day, complete with a chocolate on the pillow. The breakfast each morning was so filling we didn't need lunch---yogurt, granola, fruit, coffee, toast with various jams and marmalade, sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggs cooked to order. It's only about a 15 minute walk, if that, into central Brockenhurst. We also were able to walk to Roydon Woods Nature Reserve, which allowed us to really get away from everyone and immerse ourselves in the woods. We had a more casual dinner at the Snakecatcher Pub and then a fancier dinner at The Huntsman, both excellent. This break was everythinf we hoped it would be, and staying at Broadlands Gate was a big part of that!

My wife and I attended a Wedding in Brockenhurst on 16th September and we had a four night stay at Broadlands Gate. Our room was very clean and comfortable, we had the Junior Suite with a separate lounge area and TV in addition to the TV we had in our bedroom, tea and coffee facilities and fresh milk in a small fridge! The breakfast was first class and we felt very much at home, we travel to the New Forest and Bournemouth quite often and will make a point of spending a night or two at Broadlands Gate when we are next in the area, for us, absolutely perfect!
